Why?
| Project Objective: | This project will develop and test model frameworks which integrate different land use and biodiversity scenarios across spatial scales for future management in viticultural regions from Spain, France, Germany, Austria and Romania. SECBIVIT will start with local focus groups to develop stakeholder-driven scenarios which will be used for agent-based models. Second, SECBIVIT will utilize existing information from different European countries to build a model predicting the provision of key ecosystem services. Third, the model will be validated using independent field measurements of above- and below-ground biodiversity, economic performance as well as multiple ecosystem services along relevant gradients of landscape complexity and management options across five European case study regions. |
| Call Objective: | The Call addresses two major (non-exclusive) priorities: - Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions; - Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios. |
